GRAND RAPIDS -- Kent County jail records show police have two people in custody as suspects in today's bank robbery in Alpine Township and subsequent police chase as they tried to escape in a Budget rental truck.

A woman booked in as Tammy Jo Jones, 42, is being held in the jail on suspicion of felony robbery while another suspect was initially booked in as John Doe, then changed to Matthew Thomas Jones, 35.

The pair were arrested after a lengthy police chase that ended at Cesar Chavez Elementary School at Grandville Avenue SW and Hall Street, not long after police used spike strips to pop tires on the rental truck.

During the chase, suspects tossed money from the truck near 44th Street and Clyde Park Avenue.

The Comerica Bank branch at Four Mile Road and Alpine Avenue NW was robbed at about 10:50 a.m. today by a man wearing sunglasses who left the bank parking lot riding a bike.

Police soon began chasing the rental van, first south along Alpine Avenue, then west on the Gerald R. Ford Freeway before it headed back east on 44th Street near the Rivertown Crossings mall.
